    Mostly out of curiosity (and wanting to know more about fellow Simmers), I'd like to know which Sim game was/is your favorite so far :)

    For me, Sims 2 was my top favorite.

    Sims 3 was fun too. I enjoyed the beautiful open worlds and all of the EPs and UI, but sadly I got... Bored. Still, when I see other players pictures and gameplay, I can easily understand why they find it their favorite one. :D

    When Sims 4 came along I was sold. I loved everything about it, but I'm still not sure if that will replace Sims 2 for me hehehe

    (I've never got my hands on Sims 1 for a long time, but for the 3 hours I've played it in the past I think it'd be a great classic that scores highly too for me)

    Sooo, what's your favorite game of the franchise, and what's your favorite EP (or stuff pack or game pack) from it?

    I can't wait to hear your favorites :D

    (And I'm not sure if someone has done this type of topic recently but I'm sorry if it has been done and this is repetitive)

      Sims 4 is my favorite. GT is my favorite pack because it's added so much to the foundation.

      I agree that GT added a lot to the game. It's kind of what made me question my loyalty to Sims 2 lol

      The Sims will always hold a special place in my heart. It was the first in the series, the first I played, but the love I have is for Sims 2. That game, despite its limitations, was fully fleshed out, and the sims are the best. Close behind it is Sims 3, can't beat the open world, and the creative freedom that you have. All I want is the fully fleshed out sims and their behaviors, quirks, memories, etc. from Sims 2, combined with the open world, CASt and CAWt from Sims 3 along with key features, and the multitasking from Sims 4, made into Sims 5, and I would be set!

      But for now I have to settle for Sims 3, because it contains the freedom that I want and the open world splendor.

      The Sims 3 lags much more than Sims 4 for me so obviously Sims 4 is going to be better :) Sims 4 is a lot of fun and I love the simplicity of it.

      The Sims 2 BY FAR!
      I mean I was so shocked about being able to play through all stages of my sims: Baby, Toddler, Kid, Teenager, Adult and Elder! And all of them felt VERY different! I remember I bought the guide which had all the details of each stages and I was amazed at all the little details that made each of them unique.
      Also... who doesn't miss the cut scenes that happened for the first time they had woohoo or their first kiss? That to me was a classic.

      Regardless, it's biggest downfall was the lack of story progression... having your grandfather and father, and son go through high school with same friends.. really broke the immersion for me.

      In conclusion it was a stepping stone that seemed like a huge step towards the right direction for the series and the graphics were really nice for it's time! The Sims 3, seemed naturally like the next step to take but open world really led to way too many bugs and lag which made the game a bit unpleasant to play imo.

      I was expecting The Sims 4 improve on life stages but it only took HUGE steps back for no reason, it looks amazing, feel smooth but we need toddlers back and better babies! I was completely dissapointed to find out that YA, Adults, Teens AND ELDERS are the same model just with different texture twists.... seemed very lazy and last minute compared to TS2.

      Everything you said was mostly my views on everything on the games! Hopefully the problems with ts4 smoothens out. It's still a fairly new game, so it still has room (and time) for improvement!

      Sims 4 no doubt. Of course there is stuff missing, but I'm sure the team will keep adding things as we go

      Sims 2 is my fave. Have gotten loads of enjoyment out of 4 as well. For me Sims 3 is mostly just one long nightmare between two pleasant dreams.

      lol nothing beats Sims 6. The new futuristic features of that game was satisfying. I wish I had another time machine so I can get another copy XD

      If we're talking about just the base games, it would be TS2 hands-down. What characters they were! Beyond their appearances, each sim was unique in their interests, memories, and personalities. Two sims with the same personality point distribution would still be unique individuals cuz they had different interests, life experiences, and groups of friends. They thought about those other sims when they were absent. They worried about them - and they needed us. They may have owned everything they needed to keep themselves healthy, but - guaranteed - if you left the game running on free will while you slept, you'd return to find tombstones. (A long-ago challenge called "Up All Night" proved that.) When needs failed, they'd look up at the camera and beg for intercession or just yell at us if that was more their style. That connection has been missing ever since.

      My favorite of every Sims game has got to be World Adventures for TS3. Completely adored the new countries, new skills, and trying to get all the artifacts from exploring the tombs.

      After that was probably Making Magic for TS1, and then TSM and the expansion.

      Sims 3 is my favorite of all. The open world was just perfect for me in terms of immersion. I love how everything could be customized. I loved being able to explore the open world with my Sim. I loved all of the activities, and deciding whether I wanted to play "quest" style via World Adventures, or just play a legacy style with generations of families, all while the open world lived and existed beyond my Sims' front door.

      Sims 2 was fun, and such an improvement from Sims 1 that I remember finding it so charming and innovative. Plus I felt super connected to my Sims 2 Sims, in a way I have never really felt again, not even with the Sims 3. Sims 2 with an open world...that would be my dream game, lol.

      Sims 4 is growing on me, and I kinda wish that they would have created Sims 4 BEFORE the Sims 3, if that makes sense. Because it is pretty, the Sims are pretty, and the graphics are great. But it feels like a step back after the Sims 3 and the open world.

      Sims 1? I can't even remember, I love it due to nostalgia and intro to this awesome game. I remember playing it for hours when it first came out.

      Despite the fact that it often lags, Sims 3 is still my all time favorite Sims game! I just can't give it up! :smile: There's way too much freedom and creativity for me to refuse. I just love being able to design all my clothes, objects, etc using CAST (create a style). Also, the open world is really awesome as well! If the game didn't lag, it would honestly be perfect!

      The Sims 2 is definitely a close second though. That game has too much nostalgia for me to forget it! :smiley: I remember always being so excited for a new expansion or stuff pack to be released! I played it all the time when I was a kid! Also, it was really advanced for a Sims game at its time.

      The Sims 4 is my third favorite. It's a good game, but it lacks A LOT of things I really miss from previous games! :( Transitioning from Sims 3 (with open world and create a style) to Sims 4 (which has neither of those features) was kinda hard at first. I got used to it though. But, I'm still missing things like toddlers. But, the game definitely has the best Create A Sim mode by far! I just love how we're basically able to mold them like clay to however we wish.

      Sims 3 is my favorite overall. I'm working on getting use to Sims 4, just not there yet for me.

      Sims 2! I risked life and limb for that game. Or at least my mom yelling at me and grounding me because I would stay up extra late on school nights playing. I had no cares and I still stay up till 4 am sometimes becoming lost in it - I'm a little more responsible now x]

      The Sims 3.
      I love CASt so much and playing in the open world. It has issues, but I love it all the same.

      The Sims 3 is my all time favorite. I would play that game all day on more days than not.

      Sims 4 would be a close second. I'm sure, as long as they keep heading in the right direction, that by the time Sims 4 gets more content under it's belt it will likely be tied with Sims 3, but I don't know if it'll ever be able to take the top place.

      The Sims 3 with Late Night. I played it more than any other world on my old PC, and last night I was able to play with with high settings and no lag for the first time ever. It was almost like getting a brand new game, even though the CDs were gathering dust in my closet for close to two years.

      The Sims 4 with Get Together runs a very close second. The game is stepping in the right direction, and if the devs are given enough time to make Seasons, Pets, etc., I think they could be incredible.

      For now, my heart lies in a penthouse in Bridgeport. <3

      I've only played 4 but I LOVE it. I cant get enough of it. I really want to try TS2 though, does anybody know of anyway to get the ultimate collection still? Its not on origin, I haven't really done a bunch of hunting but I would like to try it.

      I love video games because of the things that I could never do in real life... For instance, in the sims you can get a job and a house.
